Gas in the cylinder!

I got an 08 MCCS. I rebuilt the engine and put back everything and ran the car. It starts after few cranks and when it does, smoke comes from the back indication rich condition. I decided to take the spark plugs out and noticed that all plugs are wet and one of the cylinders (#2) is flooded with gas.
I took the injectors out to replace and see if that changes any thing.
Any thought is appreciated.

I got the fuel injectors rail out and left it over night. When i saw it today, injector #2 was wet...replace it and the car started fine with no smoke or hesitation. Alway good to remove the plugs and visually check ��

I did this and saved myself the dealership headache. Quoted 3k for injectors. Got them at ECS for 260dlls. Great job!

The work itself is super easy on these cars BUT the issue is to correctly find the issue. I had a ton of spare parts, so I can swap parts all day long others dont have this luxury and rely on us (NAM) and a mechanic to steer them not only to the right direction, but fix the issue from the first shot.
